The heartbroken parents later shared that they plan to keep their late daughter's memory alive by helping other families to be educated on water safety.

"We are inspired to make our baby girl’s memory go forth and help prevent as many drownings as possible," they wrote in a joint statement on Instagram on June 20.

The family has since received an outpouring of support from the public, including donations to a gofundme campaign set up by midwife Lindsey Meehleis to raise funds for a foundation "in honour of sweet Emeline Grier".

In a bittersweet twist, just a few months ago, the pair announced they are expecting another baby in October this year.

The sport-star duo are parents to three-year-old Nash Skan and Miller has two children from a previous relationship, Samuel, five, and Neesyn, 10.
